Beauty is in the details and the NUVO Fusion represents everything we love about Reef Keeping and features that will boost your hobby’s experience to the next level; it’s not just the next aquarium, but what the next aquarium should be.

Borrowing features from the premium SR-Series. Innovative Marine has revamped their mid-sized line to give you higher quality low iron glass, a mesh screen top, and up to 15% more room front to back for aquascaping, while still keeping the customizable filtration system from our award winning NUVOs.

The new 30L fusion, thinking to purchase the the tank without the stand.
Will the system work without the stand?

Was about to order the Nuvo 24, but it looks like a better investment. Will it priced similar to the nuvo24.

[MarineDepot]

The Innovative Marine 30L is now available for $499.99 and will work just fine without the stand. The filtration and all necessary components are built right into the back of the tank; just be sure you have a suitable piece of furniture or alternate stand that will support the weight of the tank.

The 30L does have some great features over the Nuvo24 including thicker glass, polished diamond edges, and black silicone which are typically found on only the most high-end of aquariums. It is definitely worth the extra dough in my opinion.

The Maxspect Razor R420R would be a great choice to light this tank.

As for other items you need, this really depends on what you plan to keep in the tank. Check out our Reef Tank Packages for some great ideas on some of our favorite products for a reef tank.

The razor is out of my budget, how about the kessil? Would I need two on this size of tank or one be sufficient?

[akhlaq768]

Plus do you know the release date on this tank?

[MarineDepot]

In order to get full coverage for a reef aquarium, you would need to have x2 of the Kessil A150W lights suspended above the aquarium.

They are scheduled to arrive at the end of this week and start shipping next week. Keep in mind that all pre-orders will be fulfilled first.

How much sand do I need to order for this size tank and how much live rock would be needed?

We have a great reef calculator on our website in order to help with sand. It will depend on which NUVO Fusion tank you are looking at (30L or 40) and how deep you would like your sand bed to be.

We typically recommend about 1.5 lbs per gallon of live rock.

Feel free to follow up anytime.

I'll be after the fusion 30l

What you recommend?

What you recommend?

For a 2" sand bed, you need roughly 35 - 45 lbs of sand. 45 lbs would be more accurate for fine grade sands. Here is a great article all about substrates.



35-45 lbs of live rock would be appropriate.

Pre-ordered last week.. any news on receiving the units yet?

[MesaTank]

Thinking about the 40g, still undetermined.

muttley101 started a Fusion 40 build thread so you can get a closer look at the tank there if you want.

[roogahroo]

Have a Nuvo 16. Love the look of the 30L.

[akhlaq768]

I thought site would be in and dated with builds set up for this new tank

Wondering to purchase, but want first hand reviews

Do you by chance have the inner dimensions of each shelf of the stand?

Hi Shiftline, Innovative Marine does not provide those specifications. However, the stand has a divider in the middle so each side should be about 10"wide and 18" deep. Total height on the inside would be about 34". Unfortunately, we don't have an assembled stand here to measure the height of the shelf, but it is about half way up.

The instruction manual (starting on page 22) does have a lot of detailed diagrams showing how the stand is laid out.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for the rough measurements, I'm trying to figure out what all would fit to hide in the stand

Totally understandable and we apologize we couldn't provide you exact measurements. Innovative Marine does have a toll-free number if you want to give them a try: 1-866-368-7941. You can also shoot them an email if that is more convenient. If they are able to provide specific measurements, let us know and we'll update our website for future shoppers.
